The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Over time it remained as a valuable stiffener mounted inboard of the sheer strake on commercial and recreational craft.
- In modern boats, it is the top edge of the hull where there is usually some form of stiffening, often in the form of traditional wooden boat construction members called the "inwale" and "outwale".
- On a canoe, the gunwale is typically the widened edge at the top of its hull, reinforced with wood, plastic or aluminum, to carry the thwarts.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gunwale article was read about 37,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 31 and blocks with 13: each hit it takes is cut by 5 %.
